When it appears that partition cannot be made equal between the parties according to their respective rights, without prejudice to the rights and interests of some of them, and a partition is ordered, the court may adjudge compensation to be made by one party to another on account of the inequality. However, the compensation may not be required to be made to others by owners unknown or by infants unless it appears that the infant has personal property sufficient for that purpose and that the infant's interest will be promoted by giving compensation.
